The
new-age path to spiritualism
| The NewGen
is aware that it needn’t don saffron robes or give up a
comfortable lifestyle to seek spiritual bliss. Unlike
previous generations, it is not waiting for problems that
come with advancing years. Instead, the young are stocking
up on the spiritual ammo to checkmate various complexities
that life will bring later, writes Gitanjali

| Meet
this growing tribe of energetic youngsters, who are
arming themselves with spiritual techniques and
philosophies, to face the battle called life. They realise
that born in a competitive world they must have that
something extra to continuously outperform themselves and
others. Unlike previous generations, they do not wait to
be overwhelmed by problems of health, career or
relationships before seeking out spiritual solace.
Instead, they want to stock up the spiritual ammo to
checkmate various complexities that come with advancing
years.

A
tribute to heroes
C.
D. Verma remembers two national heroes — one who
composed a famous patriotic song, and the other, who designed
our National Flag
The
names of two national heroes Shyam Lal Gupt of North
India and P. Venkayya of South India come to mind as one gets
set for the Independence Day. While Shyam Lal Gupt’s famous
patriotic song, "Jhanda uncha rahe hamara" is
sung even today during the flag-hoisting ceremony, P. Venkayya
is remembered for designing our National Flag, the Tricolour.
A
gallant warrior
In Major Parkash Singh,
Victoria Cross winner, we have an example worth emulating of a

coming generations of soldiers can be proud of, writes Major-Gen

was inexorably drawn to a recent unusually large, well
laid out bhog and antim ardas notice in The
Tribune. It informed readers of the death, in Jalandhar, of
Mrs Raminder Parkash Singh, wife of the late Major Parkash
Singh, Victoria Cross (VC) recipient. The VC is the coveted
British precursor of the Param Vir Chakra, the highest gallantry
award that can be awarded to an Indian soldier for showing
bravery in combat.
